About product

A Swedish tractor unit for those who need the most power

The FH range introduced a new generation of long-distance tractor units in the 1990s, and the designation with sixteen belongs to the version with the largest engine, that is a 16-liter inline six-cylinder diesel. That moved the output of production trucks to figures that previously belonged only to specials, and made the marque a certainty for heavy transport, the carriage of oversized loads and mountain routes.

The medium cab height is a compromise between the tallest form for long-distance transport and a low floor for distribution. It offers room for sleeping as well as a reasonable overall height of the rig, and that is why it is probably the one most often met on the roads in Europe.

What to be ready for in the build

Trucks in 1:24 scale are bulky models and the build is counted in weeks rather than evenings. In return they offer room for your own conception: company livery, chromed accessories, lighting or a trailer of your own choice.

  • Assemble the frame on a flat board so that the rig does not twist.
  • Paint the cab separately from the chassis; access to the underside is then easier.
  • Leave the mirrors and the wipers for the very end; they break off easily.
  • Wash the tires before fitting them; softened compounds tend to be greasy.

The model also suits as the basis for a rig with a trailer, where the length and the proportions of the whole combination really come out. In a display case it will then take up a lot of room, but it is the most rewarding way to show such a tractor unit. Anyone who wants to go further will add cab lighting and the markings of a real haulier.

FAQ

No, it is the tractor unit alone. Semi-trailers and trailers are sold as separate kits and can be combined with this model.

By a lower roof and thereby a smaller overall height. The room for a bunk stays; what is lost is the standing height inside the cab.

It is rather a task for a patient modeler. There are many parts and the frame has to be assembled precisely, otherwise the rig does not stand straight.
